About

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, specializing in extended reality (XR), affective computing, and rehabilitation robotics. His work bridges the gap between virtual environments and real-world therapeutic and industrial applications. In a preliminary study with 9 citations, Gonzalez-Sanchez demonstrated how integrating affective states with virtual reality can significantly improve gait rehabilitation—a critical need given that over seven million people in Mexico suffer from impairments, with 64.1% being gait-related and 36.2% affecting children. This research highlights his commitment to developing non-verbal feedback systems for patients with neurological disorders. More recently, his 2025 work explores how XR technologies, specifically the Meta Quest 3, can optimize human-cobot interaction in manufacturing by capturing real-time hand and virtual object movements to intuitively control collaborative robots. With 2 citations already, this forward-looking research positions him as a key innovator in human-robot collaboration. Gonzalez-Sanchez’s contributions are shaping the future of accessible, adaptive technologies that enhance both rehabilitation outcomes and industrial efficiency.
